Episode 3492: Dr. Neal Malik takes on one of the most persistent questions in fitness: whether working out on an empty stomach in a fasted state actually helps you lose fat and build muscle. He separates what happens to fat during a fasted session from what happens to body fat over the long run, and explains why the two are not the same thing. He also covers who should be careful about training before eating, and how nutrition timing fits into it.
